As above - if the Square merchant has chosen a restaurant MCC, then AMEX better be giving 4x points. Problems arise when Square merchants don't put in the right MCC (or don't put one in at all). IME, many Square merchants in my area that primarily (or only) sell prepared food code as grocery stores for some reason, so I don't get bonuses on my CSR.

It could work sometimes I suppose. Read here :

My own personal experience shows that Amex Gold / Square does not result in 4x points. Hopefully they will fix this.
